AIKIDO

Morihei Ueshiba
1883-1969

The secret of Aikido is to harmonize
ourselves with the movement of the universe and bring ourselves into
accord with the universe itself. He who has gained the secret of
Aikido has the universe in himself and can say, "I am the universe."
O-Sensei

Kisshomaru Ueshiba
1921-1999

What is Aikido?
The Japanese word Aikido is written with three characters which
translate as "the way of unity with the fundamental force of the
universe". Aikido is a true Martial Way that evolved in the historic
tradition of Japanese warrior arts. Studied in earnest, aikido is
more than a science of tactics and self-defense-it is a discipline
for perfecting the spirit.

Aikido was developed by Morihei
Ueshiba, known as O-Sensei (Great Teacher). Transformed by
his spiritual insights, Ueshiba's technical mastery evolved
into a martial art of refinement and astonishing power,
fundamentally different from those that preceded it. There
have always been visionaries of remarkable insight, but
O-Sensei taught that true awareness is not grasped by
intellect alone. "This is not mere theory," he said. "You
must practice it."
